Dolphins coach Brian Flores says Tua was meeting with WRs twice per week to build timing and raport when Dolphins were away from facility.
"Physically, he's in a good place."
We are so excited to confirm that you will see two U.S. athletes in the balance beam final tomorrow - Suni Lee AND Simone Biles!! Can’t wait to watch you both!
Women will now be included in all Rooney Rule requirements in the NFL. Also, all 32 teams will be required to hire “a diverse person (female or a member of an ethnic or racial minority” to serve as an offensive assistant.
Tua just threw an absolute dime to Tyreek Hill, who was draped by several Eagles defenders, in 11 on 11s at the joint practice session in Miami Gardens. Looked to be 15-20 yards, fast and right on the money.
Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa -- 23-33, 270, TD -- ranked 26th among NFL quarterbacks in Week 1, per
@PFF
.
Patriots QB Mac Jones -- 21-30, 213, TD/INT -- was PFF's No. 14 QB.

Steve Smith on Josh Rosen via NFL Network: You are replaceable. ...Now you're mad they brought some competition in here, so you're going to try to take your ball (and leave). First of all, son, it ain't your damn ball to take anyway." Cont.
@KVanValkenburg
Can't hear enough of these stories. Love it. I had similar experiences with Chad Johnson, Albert Pujols, Joey Votto and others. Those short moments of time are the ones that stick with you and I'm very grateful. Jason is one of the great ones.
Compensation update: Raiders are trading a 2021 fourth-round pick to Miami for Dolphins’ linebacker Raekwon McMillan and a 2021 fifth-round pick, per source. Good value for Raiders, but McMillan is in the last year of his deal.
Today might’ve been Tua’s best showing of camp/off-season (that I’ve seen), if you account for health/player availability/talent of defenses (vs. Dolphins, Bucs, Raiders, Eagles). Good sign, albeit early, he played best in tougher spot. Several perfect throws & lots of velo 🚀🎯

Steve Smith on Rosen on NFL Network: "But guess what? They going to ship your ass somewhere else & you can go cry & be their problem. This is a man's game. Be a man & go against that man 1-on-1. He gets 10 plays, you get 10 plays. Do your deal. Ain't nobody giving you nothing."
"So, just keep playing with your phone and you're showing us what the stigma of you and who you were at UCLA. Now you brought it to the professional level and showed us when things don't go your way you're going to cry in the corner." More Steve Smith on Josh Rosen.
Patrick Mahomes on Tua Tagovailoa: "He has the veteran mindset. You can see when they were down, he didn't try to force it. He took what was there & moved the ball. He found a way to get the game close. He'll continue to learn & get better."
Lionel Messi now has 5 goals -- tied with Mbappe for the most at the

DeVonta Smith: "The Heisman wasn't something I came back for. I came back to get a degree and win a national championship. The two main boxes I wanted to check off, I checked off."
Language is super murky in NFL's personal conduct policy when talking about players vs. owners. But it does list fines, suspensions and even banishment from the league as punishments for players, before saying owners "will be subject to more significant discipline."
